April 30, 1944 Mission to Marsciano Railroad Bridge
| Squadron | War Diary | |
|---|---|---|
| 486th | Target was Marsciano RR Bridge. Briefing at 1430 - take-off at 1546. The 486th bombed across the south approach to the Bridge. The second element bombed the warehouses and observed black smoke arising from them at a point immediately south of the bridge. | |
| 487th | Again today six of our planes took off at 15:40 to bomb the Marsciano railroad bridge, but the pattern landed beyond the target area to the right of the bridge. No enemy opposition was encountered throughout the raid. | |
| 488th | Mission to Marsciano R.R. Bridge. No excitement. The Squadron had 25 missions, 156 sorties and dropped 548,760 pounds of bombs for the month. |
|
| 489th | The mission today was in the Orvieto sector, an important railroad bridge which no longer exists; the boys hit it squarely. |
